Details of road closures will be available in early 2026
If you or someone you know has an essential journey to make during these times, please let us know and we will work with you to find a solution where possible.
Thank you for your co-operation and understanding.
The final 2 miles through Inverness and the finish line and Event Hub at Eden Court Theatre provide the best vantage points for spectators. First cyclists are expected across the finish line from 08:45 onwards, and the bulk of cyclists expected between 08:45-13:00.
